House of Hospitality, San Diego

Your first stop when touring Balboa Park should be this newly-renovated tourist information center. It provides schedules and route maps for the free tram that circles throughout the 1,200-acre park. In addition, you may purchase day passes for all museums located at the park. Free park tours begin at this site as well. With its unique style, landscaping and design, it is also the perfect setting for special events and weddings.
